Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Brush

Ingredients

  • 1 large Eggplant about 1 lb or 450g, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 cup Almond flour 96g
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese 50g
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese 100g
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 1g
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder 3g
  • ½ teaspoon Salt 2g
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper 1g
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • ½ cup Marinara sauce, sugar-free 118ml
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake the eggplant slices for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and start to brown.
  • While the eggplant is baking, in a bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Once the eggplant is done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Dip each eggplant slice into the egg, then into the almond flour mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  • Place the coated eggplant slices back onto the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes to form the crust.
  • Remove the crusts from the oven, spread each with a thin layer of marinara sauce, and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

For a crispier crust, consider broiling the pizza for the final 1-2 minutes.
Ensure your marinara sauce is sugar-free to maintain ketosis.
Customize toppings as desired, keeping in mind the carb count for keto compliance.
